June 7th Match in Taylorsville, GA

[brusky21]

I think I'll be making the drive up for the match. I've shot a bunch of 3 gun, but this will be my first precision match. I'd love to link up with any fellow Hiders that are up there. From what I've found, the match fee is 30$ and the round count is 50-70. If anybody has any other info, or has shot one of these in the past, please post.

Just know that Joe usually does a creek based stage once in the summer. I had no clue and showed up last year and got wet. I enjoyed it, very out of the box, but some do not. I plan on trying to make it out to that match also.

This was from a guy at that match

That's really good to know! I'll make sure I bring a change of clothes. How many round do you typically shoot per stage?

I'm wanting to say 5 stages with 10 or so per stage, but I haven't shot there a whole lot. The round count can get higher the more you miss. I'm not on facebook & missed the announcement about the creek stage last year, but I think he usually posts more info on each match a few days prior on facebook. To me, and I enjoyed the creek challenge, things like that and the positional stuff makes for a great match. Some hate it though. I run a local 2 & 3 gun match and have done past stages where you go down low prone and shoot under a simulated car. I cannot tell you how many people bitched about it. Hell the head firearms instructor from a local agency left one match early because of that stage saying it was unrealistic. Really? If it were unrealistic why would Kyle Lamb teach a whole class on it. Watch the hollywood bank robbery/shoot out. The last guy to go down was shot in the leg from under a vehicle by SWAT.

Joe's match is good that way in he tests your ability to build a solid firing position in a crappy situation.

Have the results from yesterdays match been posted online anywhere? I had a great time and learned a ton. I would definitely recommend it to anybody who is interested in jumping into the sport.
